By the Assoclated Press. NEW YORK, October 29.—In a 500-page book entitled “America’s 60 Families” published today by Van- guard Press, Ferdinand Lundberg, former Wall Street financial writer, asserts that “the United States is owned and dominated today by a hierarchy of its 60 richest families, buttressed by no more than 90 fami- lies of less wealth.” “These families,” Mr. Lundberg con- tinues, “are the living center of the modern industrial oligarchy which dominates the United States, func- tioning discreetly under a de jure democratic form of government be- hind which a de facto government, absolutist and plutocratic in its linea- ments, has gradually taken form since the Civil War. “This de facto government is actu- ally the Government of the United States—informal, invisible, shadowy. It is the government of money in a dollar democracy.” Among the leading families in Mr. Lundberg’s list, in order, are: Rocke- feller, Morgan, Ford, Harkness, Mel- lon, Vanderbilt, Whitney, Du Pont, McCormick, Baker, Fisher and Gug- genheim. 350 Others Jusi Below. “Outside this plutocratic circle (of | 60 and 90 families),” he writes, “there | are perhaps 350 other families, less de- | fined in development and wealth, but | accounting for most of the incomes of | $100,000 or more that do not accrue to members of the inner circle.” Mr. Lundberg wrote “Imperial | Hearst,” a biography of William Ran- | dolph Hearst, last year. | The first 10 families in his table OH‘ 60, ranked in general on the basis of | their 1924 income tax, with the num- ber of family members filing returns their “primary source of wealth” and “net aggregate fortune taxed,” are: Rockefeller (21), Standard Ofl, $359,100,000. | Morgan inner group (34), J.

Kresge, No. 60, at $10,000,000. Mr. Lundberg points out that exact ronking and estimate are difficult be- cause of the many large fortunes in tax-exempt securities, like those of the late Senator James Couzens of Michigan and Col. Henry Doherty, who, he said, paid no tax in 1924. Also omitted were “individual for- tunes not placed on a family basis,” like those of the late George Eastman, Andrew Carnegie, Harry Sinclair, E. L. Cord, Walter P. Ohrysler, Edward L. Doheny and Samuel Zemurray. Mr. Lundberg said his study was not to be connected with the list offered D. C, FRIDAY James W. Gerard in 1930 of 50 men who “ran” America. cluded many. persons he considered “of slight importance.” Spot-Finers to Sleuth. Latvia’s flying squad of traffic offi- cers must continue in the role of sleuths. Recently they requested that they be permitted to wear uniforms in the interest of smartness, but the authorities in Riga have refused. These special officers, who prowl about for motorists committing traffic errors and fine them on the spot, are to continue in their own -civilian clothes, but “an alowance is to be made for this in the case of zmealous officers.” Motorists who have re- sented the idea of a detective-traffic court are somewhat appeased by the announcement that pedestrians will be sleuthed and fined also.
